alignment of input sections) will be filled with the value, repeated as
necessary. If the fill expression is a simple hex number, ie. a string
of hex digit starting with "0x" and without a trailing "k" or "M", then
an arbitrarily long sequence of hex digits can be used to specify the
fill pattern; Leading zeros become part of the pattern too. For all
other cases, including extra parentheses or a unary '+', the fill
pattern is the four least significant bytes of the value of the
expression. In all cases, the number is big-endian.
You can also change the fill value with a @code{FILL} command in the
output section commands; see @ref{Output Section Data}.
